The Dream of Life (Alan Watts)

If you awaken from this illusion and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death or shall i say death implies life. you can feel yourself. Not as a stranger in the world.
Not as something here on probation. Not as something that has arrived here by fluke.
But you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental. I'm not trying to sell you on this idea in the sense of converting you to it. I want you to play with it. I want you to think of its possibilities. I'm not trying to provide it. I'm just putting it forward as a possibility of life to think about So then...
Let's suppose that you were able every night, to dream any dream you wanted to dream. And that you could for example have the power within one night to dream seventy five years of time. Or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would naturally, as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfil all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure. And after several nights of seventy five years of total pleasure each, you would say "Well that was pretty great!"
"But now let's - let's have a surprise". "Let's have a dream which isn't under control". "Where something is going to happen to me but I don't know what it's going to be." And you would dig that And come out of that you'd say "Wow that was a close shave wasn't it?" Then you would get more and more adventurous and you would make further and further gambles to what you would dream. Finally you would dream where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today. That would be within the infinite multiplicity of choices that you would have. Of playing that you weren't God.
Because the whole nature of the God in you according to this idea, is to play that he's not. So in this idea then, everybody is fundamentally the ultimate reality, not God in a politically kingly sense, but God in the sense of being the self. The deep down basics, whatever there is. And you're all that. Only you are pretending your not.


The Mind (Alan Watts)

So then let's consider first of all what is a mind in the grip a vicious circles.
Well one of the most obvious instances that we all know is the phenomenon of worry.
The doctor tells you that you have to have an operation.
And that has been set up so that automatically everybody worries about it.
But since worrying takes away your appetite an your sleep it's not good for you.
But you can't stop worrying and therefor you get additionally worried that you are worrying.
And then furthermore because that is quite absurd and your mad at yourself because you do it,
you are worried because you worry because you worry.
That is a vicious circle. So now, can you allow your mind to be quite?
Isn't it difficult?
Because the mind seems to be like a monkey, jumping up and down and jabbering all the time. Once you've learned to think you can't stop. And an enormous number of people devote their lives to keeping their minds busy and feel extremely uncomfortable with silence. When you're alone
nobody's saying anything, there's nothing to do just this worrying, this lack of distraction.
I'm left alone with myself and I wanna get away from myself I always want to get away myself.
That's why I go to the movies, that's why I go to the biscuit stores,
that's why I go after girls or anything or get drunk or whatever.
I don't want to be with myself. I feel queer.
So well why do you wanna run away from yourself?
What's so bad about it?
Why do you want to forget this?
Why do you want to become yourself?
Because you are addicted to thoughts. This is a drug, too dangerous one.
Compulsive thinking, on an on and on and on all the time. It's a habit.
So there's a difficulty about stopping that activity.
And you really have to stop it if you want to be sane.
Because if I talk all the time I don't hear what anyone else has to say.
And I'll end up in the situation of having nothing to talk about but my own talking.
And so exactly the same way if I think all the time
I won't have anything to think about except thoughts.
So in order to have something to think about, there are times when you simply must stop thinking.
We;;, how do you do that?
The first tule is don't try to. Because if you do, you will be like someone trying to make a rough water smooth with flatiron. and all that will do will stir it up. So in the same way as muddy turbulent pool quiets itself when left alone, you have to know how to leave your mind alone. It will quiet itself.

Secret of Life (Jim Carrey)

My soul is not contained within the limits of my body, my body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul
I've often said that I wish people could realize all their dreams and wealth and fame and
so that they could see that it's not where you're going to find your sense of completion
I can tell you from experience that effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is
Because everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart
and all that will be left of you is what was in your heart
we're not the avatars we create we're not the pictures on the film stock
we are the light that shines through. All else is just smoke and mirrors
Distracting but not truly compelling our eyes are not viewers they're also projectors
that are running a second story over the picture
that we see in front of us all the time fear is writing that script
now fear is going to be a player in your life you get to decide how much
you could spend you whole life imagining ghosts
worrying about the pathway to the future but all there will ever be
is what's happening here in the decisions we make in this moment which
are based in either love or fear
so many of us choose our path our of fear disguised as practicality
what we really want seems impossibly out of reach
and ridiculous to expect so we never dared to ask the universe for it
Life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you.
ad far as i can tell it's just about
letting the universe know what you want and working towards it
while letting go of how it comes to pass
why not take a chance on faith not religion but faith,not hope but faith.
I don't believe in hope. hope is the beggar. Hope walks through the fire
and faith leaps over it. you are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world.
and after you walk through those doors today you'll only ever have two choices
Love or Fear, Choose love
and don't ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.


DREAM

I don't know that the dream is that you have,
I don't care how disappointing it may have been as you have been working towards that dream.
But that dream that you're holding in your mind. That is possible
Some of you already know that it is hard it's not easy
It's hard changing your life then in the process of working on your dreams
you are going to incur and incur a lot of disappointment a lot of failure, a lot of pain
The moment when you're going to doubt yourself
I say God why, why does this happening to me ?
I'm just trying to take care of my children and my mother
I'm not trying to steal or rob from anybody
How is this had to happen to me. for those of you who had experience some hardships
Don't give up on your dream
There are rough times are going to come, but they have not come to stay!. they have come to pass
Greatness, is not this, wonderful, esoteric, illusive god like featuring them
Only the special among us are, will ever take Ya know, it's something that truly exist in all of us
It's very important for you to believe, that you are the ONE
Most people, they raise a family, they earn a living and then they die
They stop growing, they stop working on themselves, they stop stretching, they stop pushing themselves
That are lot of people like to complain, but they don't wanna do anything about their situation
And most people don't work on their dream. Why ??
One is because of FEAR. The fear of failure. What if things don't workout
And the fear of success. "What if they do and i can't handle it" These are not risk takers
You spent so much time with other people, you spent so much time trying to get people to like you.
You know other people more then you know yourself
You study them, you know about them, you wanna hangout like them, you wanna be just like them
And you know what ? You invested so much time on them. You don't know who you are!
I challenge you to spent time by yourselves
It's necessary, that you get losers out of your life if you want to live your DREAM
But people who running toward their dream, life has a special kind of meaning.
"When you become the 'right person' what you do is start to separating yourselves from others people"
You began to have a certain uniqueness
As long as you following another others, as long as you being a "copycat"
You will never ever be the best "copycat" in the world
But you will be the best you could be I'm challenging you to find your value
That everybody won't see it, that everybody won't join you, that everybody won't have the vision
It's necessary to know that you are uncommon breed
It's necessary that you aligned yourself with people and attract people into your business
Who are hungry!
People who are unstoppable and unreasonable
People who are refusing to live life just as it is, and who want more!!
The people that are living their dream are partying WINNERS!! to attach them self too
The people that are living their dream, are the people that know that
If it is gonna happen its up to them!
If you wanna be more successful
If you wanna have and do something you never done before
Number 2 i;m asking to invest in you
Someone opinion of you!
Does not have to become your reality
That you don't have to go through life being a victim
And even though you face disappointment, you have to know within yourself
That I can do this! Even if no one else see's it for me, I must see's it for myself
"This is what I believe and, I'm willing to die for it, period"
No matter how bad it is, or how bad it gets I'm going to make it!
I wanna represent an Idea. I wanna represent Possibility
As some of you right now, you wanna be, you know i'm saying, you wanna go to next level
I wanna council, I wanna be engineer, I wanna be a doctor. Listen to me you can't go to that level
You can't get to that level economically where you wanna be until you start investing in your mind
You're not reading books
I'm challenging you all to go conference(library)
I dare you invest high! I dare you to be alone!
I dare you spent hours to getting know yourself!
When you become who you are, when you become the person that you created to be
Designed to be who you were designed to be
When you become individual
What you do is, you take yourself and you start separating yourself from others
I challenge you to get a place where people don't like you or even don't bother you no more.
Why? coz you not concerned what make them happy
Because you're trying to blow up, you're trying to get to the next level
I need you to invest in your mind.
If you still talk about your dream, if you still talk about your goal
Which of you not done anything
Just take the first step!
That you can make your parents proud, you can make your school proud
You can touch millions of people life's and the world would never be the same again!
Because you came this way
Don't let nobody steal your dream!
HAve we face a rejections and a "NO" and we have a meeting and no one shows up
Or somebody say "You can count on me" and they don't come through
What if we have that kind of attitudes that cause reposes. Nobody believes in you.
You lose again and again and again!. The light are cut off​
But you're still looking at your dream, reviewing it everyday! say it yourself, it's not over!
Until I WIN!!
YOU CAN LIVE YOUR DREAM!!!

Why Do We Fall

Let me tell you something you already know The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows
It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are,
it will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it.
You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit.
It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!
Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or even a year,
but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place.
If i quit, however, it lasts forever. The margin for error is so small...
one-half a step too late or early, and you don't quite make it.
one half second too slow, too fast, you don't quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second.
You got a dream, you gotta protect it.People can't do something themselves they wanna tell you you can't do it.
If you want something, go get it. Period. Don't be afraid to fail.
You can't always win, but don't afraid of making decisions.
You have to believe that something different can happen.
He who says he can and he who says he can't are both usually right
Most of you said that you want to be successful, but you don't want it bad.
You just kinda want it. You don't want it bad than you want to party.
You don't want it as much as you want to be cool.
Most of you don't want success as much as you want to sleep!
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light our darkness that most frightens us.
You have to dig deep down, dig deep down and ask yourselves,
Who do you want to be? Figuring our for yourselves what makes you happy,
no matter how crazy it may sound to other people. Make a choice.
Just decide, what it's gonna be, who you're gonna be, how you are going to do it.
Just decide.
What is it you said to the kid? It ain't about how hard you hit.
It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
How much you can take and keep moving forward.
Get up and don't ever give up
Most of you won't be successful because when you're studying, and you get tired, you quit.
'I'm not good in math. 'That's right, because you never study!
'I'm not good in rhyme. because you never write before!
Talent you have naturally.
Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft.
If  you are not making someone else's life better, then you are wasting time.
Don't cry to quit, cry to keep going. Don't cry to quits.
You already in pain, you already hurt. Get a reward from it.
If you know what you're worth, go and get what you're worth!
But you gotta be willing to take the hits,
and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody!
Cowards do that, and that ain't you! You're better than that!
Everyday is a new day. Every moment is a new moment.
So now you've got to go out and show them that you're a new creature.
I'ma show you how great I am!
In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it's written "the kingdom of God is within man"
not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! in you! You, the people, have the power,
the power to create machines, the power to create happiness
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful,
to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Now what are you gonna do ?


Believe

The first step before anybody else in the world believes it is you have to believe it
There's no reason to have a Plan B because it distracts your Plan A
Confucius said - "He who says he can and he who says he can't are both usually right".
Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocrity.
Why would you be realistic ?
What's the point of being realistic ?
You've to believe that something different than what has happened.
You've to believe that something different can happen.
Rather than feeling like you're at affect to all the things that are happening.
make a choice, you just decide
what is gonna be, who you're gonna be, how you're gonna do it. Just decide.
And then from that point, the universe is gonna get out of your way.
Greatness is not this wonderful, esoteric, illusive god-like feature that
only the special among us will ever taste. it's something that truly exists in all of us.
I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented where I excel is ridiculous, sickening work ethic.
While with other guy is sleeping. I am working. While the other guys eating, I am working.
There's no easy way around it. No matter how talented you are,
Your talent is gonna fail you if you're not skilled.
Talents you have naturally, skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft.
I wanna be an idea, I wanna represent possibilities.
I wanna represent the idea that you really can make what you want.
I believe that we're who we choose to be. The road to success is through commitment
and through the strength to drive through that commitment when it gets hard
It is gonna get hard and you're gonna wanna quite sometimes
But it will be coloured by who you are and more who you want to be.
When you wake up in the morning  and Your life means something to somebody other than you
that you have a purpose, if you don't go do the things that you're gonna do,
people's lives will suffer.
To live in service, not to you but to live in service to humanity
to live in service to your family, to your church, to your city, to your country, to the world
that is the purest form of joy.
If you're not making someone else's life better then you are wasting your time.
You can't be scared to die for the truth.
The truth is the only thing that's ever gonna be constant. It's very simple
This is what I believe and I am willing to die for it.
Period.


IS REALITY REAL


Whenever your mind feels calm by doing anything then that is good Karma
Whatever makes your mind restless or makes other's mind restless, that is bad Karma
Desire is the root cause of existence. Desire itself is Karma
as desires arise, Karma happens. As long as you have the question 
Who am I, from where have i come and where do i go ? 
there is no better Karma than this in the world, hold it steadfast 
because this takes you within. 
The day this question leaves you, you will start walking on the evil path.
Spirituality is nothing but understanding of the truth
As your understanding grows, you will know that Spirituality is also called Consciousness and Knowledge
From where does knowledge come ? By rise in the level of consciousness 
The more your awareness and understanding of the world grows
you will voluntarily set aside the small things
Whenever we attain something big, we willingly keep aside the small things
There is no dividing line between spirituality and materialism 
It is just our misconception
It is possible that a worldly person is a lot more spiritual than
a spiritual person sitting on the top of a mountain
and on the other hand a person who calls himself spiritual is totally unspiritual and materialistic 
What we think and perceive is different and the reality is different
Whenever we put our attention on a particular thing
be it sound, light or anything. It begins to expand.
You are (your presence) is not the reason why I am watching you
I am watching therefore you are otherwise you are not.
You are watching therefore I am
Once you stop watching, there will be no me
When there is an observer, there is matter
When there is no observer, there are only waves. Energy which is flowing.
Observation is causing all of it to materialise and come into existence 
So, how is it that i am watching you and who is really watching ?
Are you really there ? Or are you merely my imagination ?
